wire China 2014 – Shanghai New International Expo Centre 24th-27th September 96
Sikora
Stand .....................................W1F62
Sikora will be presenting a broad
product range of innovations as well
as proven technology for quality
control and cost saving in wire and
cable production.
Purity scanner: 100 per cent pellet
inspection. This will be the highlight on
the stand. It is a system for the online
inspection and sorting of plastic
pellets used for the insulation of
medium-, high- and extra-high voltage
cables, but also other applications
such as in the medical industry.
Contaminated pellets are detected and
sorted out, assuring that only pure
pellets get into the extrusion process.
The pellet inspection allows the
detection of organic and metallic
contamination inside the pellet as well
as on the pellet surface, using a
special combination of X-ray
technology and an optical system. The
smallest detectable particle size is 50
µm at a flow rate of up to 2,000kg/h.
Preheater 6000 TC: Conductor
pre-heating with temperature
measurement and control. This
represents the optimum solution for
the controlled preheating of
conductors and sets the basis for the
production of a broad cable type array
at highest quality. The system
inductively heats up the conductor to
the nominal value. An infrared camera
measures the wire temperature at the
outlet of the Preheater wheel.
A control module supervises and
controls the power setting of the
device with high accuracy, assuring
that the conductor temperature always
has the specified temperature. The
Preheater 6000 TC is available in three
power classes (10, 20 and 30kW) for
preheating temperatures of up to
150°C (optionally 250°C), for a product
diameter from 0.32 to 2.8mm.
Fiber Series 6000: Quality control of
optical fibres in the drawing tower.
RAD-CON supplies capital equipment
and software, along with related
services, to manufacturers in need of a
high-quality batch annealing process
that is part of their manufacturing of
hot and cold reduced strip and wire
metal coils.
